Answer

A

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

The question asks to identify the number that is different from the other three. We need to find a common property shared by three of the numbers that the fourth one does not possess.

  1. Check for divisibility by common factors.

    Let's test divisibility by 7.

    • For (A) 532:

      5327=76\frac{532}{7} = 76

      So, 532 is divisible by 7.

    • For (B) 734:

      7347=104 with a remainder of 6\frac{734}{7} = 104 \text{ with a remainder of } 6

      So, 734 is not divisible by 7.

    • For (C) 853:

      8537=121 with a remainder of 6\frac{853}{7} = 121 \text{ with a remainder of } 6

      So, 853 is not divisible by 7.

    • For (D) 751:

      7517=107 with a remainder of 2\frac{751}{7} = 107 \text{ with a remainder of } 2

      So, 751 is not divisible by 7.

  2. Identify the number that is different.

    Numbers (B), (C), and (D) are not divisible by 7. Number (A) is divisible by 7. Therefore, 532 is the odd one out.

    The final answer is A\boxed{\text{A}}.
